Drinks & Nightlife
This is a local icon. It's a comfortable place to hang out for both locals and visitors. It's open 7 days with live music from Wednesday to Saturday each week and a folkish session on Sunday. Ask Oliver to pour you a Guinness and you'll get a shamrock on the top. My tip though is to never order food here - drink beer instead.

If beer is your thing, then this is your destination. A bar which has up to 12 beers on tap, plus wines and spirits. They have a good bar snack menu too. We recommend the cheese balls. The best thing is that they're open every day until late.

Well worth a visit. If you're feeling like a good walk, start in town and head for the old Kings Bridge at the mouth of the South Esk river. Walk the tracks along the river, over the suspension bridge and on to the historic Duck Reach power station. Maybe 2 hours return? Best bit - coffee and cake at the Cataract Gorge cafe half way along the track.
